Lotte Plaza coming to Catonsville

The Columbia-based chain of Asian and international markets has signed a lease for a 46,000 square foot store in the One West Shopping Center on Baltimore National Pike. The space, formerly occupied by Toys R Us, will undergo a multimillion dollar remodel and renovation funded jointly by Lotte Plaza and the Owings Mills-based Fedder Company, which owns the property.

Founded in 1989 in Silver Spring, Lotte Plaza operates stores in seven states including Maryland, California and Georgia. The new Lotte Plaza is scheduled for a summer 2012 opening at One Mile West Shopping Center, where it will join Panera Bread and Pier 1 Imports as anchor tenants.
